I did! One of the best shows I have ever seen. And Ngaujah had to have been the hardest-working man on Broadway during that run. Just an incredible performance.

I don’t care at all. For what it’s worth, yes, Harvard and other elite universities should be more welcoming to conservatives. But turning to the federal government to enforce “vie…

> Every department or field found to lack viewpoint diversity must be reformed by hiring a critical mass of new faculty within that department or field who will provide viewpoint d…

A demand letter that said only "Harvard may not use race, gender, or national origin as criteria for admissions and hiring" would be a lot more defensible, and much harder to oppos…

I tell my web development students that typography is Lovecraftian cursed knowledge. You can't delve too deep, or it will drive you mad.

Reminds me of http://programming-motherfucker.com/ , but which is maybe 20-30% parody instead of this 80+%.

To be fair, Homebrew is great product design, but actually pretty janky software engineering. Anyone who's had it wreck their PATH a couple of times isn't going to be an automatic …

And here Oblong itself is the NGO, so mysubdomain.obl.ong isn't that crazy. "Oblong" is kind of an awkward word though. Anyone want to set up a fork at .bi.ngo? Dang, now I'm going…

It sounds like this isn't a Southern phenomenon at all, and is just framed that way to rile up the Fox Business audience. Having a strong regional accent, or more accurately, being…

The article says that the wage penalty applies to people with "strong regional accents," and that Southern is the fourth most likely accent for job seekers to try to suppress, with…

Ironically Larry the Cable Guy's accent is itself affected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_the_Cable_Guy#Stand-up_c...

A sweeping vista miles into the sky, above an alien world, through a break in the deadly clouds? Hell yeah I'm stepping out on my Venusuvian balcony.

Without having dipped into the code before, how hard would it be run a fork of Chromium that did this?

You would have to be foolish to. However much value may be created, Musk has shown he will try to wriggle out of deals he made when he thinks he can get away with not meeting his o…

Some PMs at my company have been agitating for a switch from Asana to Jira, and now I (as VP Engineering) can guarantee that will never, ever happen.

As a legal matter, no, though copyright terms should be shorter. As a civil society matter, I think we should agree that making a secret album so that it ends up in the hands of a …

I'm a hiring manager and while I despise Facebook/Meta ( https://twitter.com/search?q=%40trevaustin%20facebook&src=ty... ), there's no denying that it's a positive qualification on…

Obviously the web3 use case that gets the most excitement right now is the ability to speculate on unregulated securities, but I do think there's something interesting with letting…

The piece isn’t about high gas costs. The conclusion: > Those are just a few ideas from someone who’s new to the field, and people are working on all of them already. But my basic …

Do you mean this story about dark patterns? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/technology/e-commerce-dar... Because the author (who does not control how NYT subscriptions work) doe…

This conspiratorial take is a decade out of date. New York Times coverage of tech has gotten more skeptical, but so has public opinion generally as their size and impact has increa…

I’m actually in the market for an EV or PHEV that seats 6 or more, and my search started with the Model X. But I’ll probably wind up getting a Volvo XC90. It’s around $30K cheaper,…
